Sentence Patterns Fact/Worksheet | PDF - Free Printable

It looks like you've uploaded a worksheet focused on identifying sentence patterns in English grammar. The task involves analyzing sentences to determine their grammatical structure, specifically the subject-verb-object (SVO) pattern and variations based on sentence type (declarative, interrogative, imperative, etc.).

Let's go through each section of the worksheet and solve it step by step.

---

I. Directions: Identify the sentence patterns of the given sentences below. Write your answer on the blank before each number.

We need to identify the sentence pattern using abbreviations such as:

- S – Subject
- V – Verb
- O – Object
- IO – Indirect Object
- DO – Direct Object
- C – Complement
- PA – Predicate Adjective
- PN – Predicate Noun
- LV – Linking Verb

Let’s analyze each sentence:

1. Lance Armstrong is an inspiring athlete.
- Subject: Lance Armstrong
- Linking verb: is
- Predicate noun: athlete
→ S – LV – PN

2. Tour de France ends in Paris.
- Subject: Tour de France
- Verb: ends
- Object: in Paris (prepositional phrase, not direct object)
→ This is a S – V pattern (intransitive verb)

3. The film can't start.
- Subject: The film
- Verb: can't start (modal + main verb)
→ S – V

4. George Hincapie assisted Lance Armstrong in all seven of his Tour de France victories.
- Subject: George Hincapie
- Verb: assisted
- Direct Object: Lance Armstrong
- Prepositional phrase: in all seven... (modifies "assisted")
→ S – V – DO

5. Cancer was unable to stop Lance from being a champion.
- Subject: Cancer
- Verb: was (linking verb)

6. I consider Johan Bruynest a very wise team manager.
- Subject: I
- Verb: consider
- Direct object: Johan Bruynest

→ S – V – DO – C (or S – V – DO – PN)

7. The patients praised the built.
- This seems to be a typo. Likely meant: *"The patients praised the doctor."*
- But as written: "the built" is incorrect. Assuming it's "the builder", then:
- Subject: The patients
- Verb: praised
- Direct object: the builder
→ S – V – DO

8. They gave him the yellow jersey.
- Subject: They
- Verb: gave
- Indirect object: him
- Direct object: the yellow jersey

9. Some riders met a terrible crash.

10. I watch every stage of the Tour.
